Better than looking in 11b I'd imagine!

Wow Geoff - thanks! That's really useful, didn't realise quite how it worked lol.......so if all the other siblings are tending to be volume 1d, I'm probably on the right track??

Does anyone know if 'family groups' ie siblings, born in the same area, as a rule are listed in the same Volume regardless of the year of birth?? When searching for births within a group of siblings, I invariably have one or two that I either cannot find, or identify for definite - but I do find 'possibles' within the area I am searching. Is it safe to assume that if I find a couple with the same volume as the others, I could potentially have the 'right one' in there somewhere?.............hope that makes sense, tried to put it as simply as I could lol..............
